Note: Reference documentation and learning materials for using Nix standalone are maintained at nix.dev.

This article is an overview of resources available both within the NixOS Wiki and elsewhere. For communication channels, support and information of contributing, see the community menu.

Wiki - search by topic

While most people just search for the article they want to read, there is also a way to reach almost all arcticles via 2 to 3 clicks from the starting page via the main 5 topic categories:

  1. Software
  2. Hardware
  3. Desktop - how to setup PCs
  4. Server - how to setup servers
  5. Community - people, communication, work on NixOS

Wiki - search by article type

The NixOS Wiki's core articles are divided into five type categories. Each category link will list all pages in that category:

  1. Pedias, for encyclopedic description
  2. Guides, for broad hands-on understanding and connections to other learning resources
  3. Tutorials, intended to teach a particular process or project
  4. Cookbooks, collections of tips and tricks
  5. Reference, full manuals and technical coverage

Pages are also organized by the six most prominent components of the Nix Ecosystem — NixOS, Nix: the package manager, Nix: the language (Nix Expressions), Nixpkgs, NixOps and Hydra.

Note: Home Manager is also a major community project to make user environment management in NixOS easier. It is intended to replace much of what you would do with nix-env, to reduce hard-to-track imperative actions.

Also, see Applications for an overview of tools in the extended ecosystem.
